Prospect Info: Devils Prospect Scrimmage will be Open to the Public (July 18th)

[Devils Army]

Yea your right. He seemed like he was rarely in the defensive zone and always looking for the pass between the blue line and the center ice. He was dangling hardcore.

Yeah, was always last out of the offensive zone too, out little effort into his back check

 

[Devils Dominion]

Dudek needs to toughen up.

Colemen is fearless.

 

[NJDevils17]

Glad to hear so many positive things today. Extremely excited about Kuja and Kerfoot too. Sounds like we have a few guys who can push this year especially Coleman. Looking forward to camp now to see who makes it.

 

[Kurt Cobain]

Anyone else see Johnny Gaudreau there? He was nice enough to sign my program and take a picture with me. Quiet guy, but it was nice of him to do that. He so small. I'm only 5'10" 165lbs and I was noticeably bigger. Which makes his accomplishments even more impressive.

I'd post the pic but I don't know how too.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Still wish we had a dynamic offensive force. At least the pace was high from what I could see.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

How far away is Kuja? I've always liked him and am glad he's progressing well.

Year in Albany at minimum.

We do. Picked him 6th overall. Named Pavel Zacha.

Just because he didn't go bananas at a development camp scrimmage doesn't mean he isn't a force.

 

[MichaelJ]

Year in Albany at minimum.

That's okay. Zacha, Kujawinski, Quenneville, Wood, Coleman...we might have a few nice pieces to build with and add real scoring talent too. Zacha aside, at least we might be able to put most of the support players in place.

We still need to add 1-2 but it's a nice start.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Year in Albany at minimum.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Kerfoot real deal

I'll say this.. The fact that people are even talking about Kelleher, an undrafted invitee who was the smallest dude at camp, shows how much skill he has and that he clearly stood out..

I thought he looked good, considering his size.. But yeah, too small for the NHL. Though he should really be proud of how well he played

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Thank you to all of you who posted write ups this week.

Some highlights so everyone can get an idea of how it went.

You watch those highlights and you can see the potential in Zacha. It was much harder to get a feel for his game with that crappy periscope stream.

Also, I can't wait for Santini.

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Devils posted some more interviews for anyone who wants to have a listen.

Santini interview in which he discusses some differences with the development camp this year compared to previous ones:

Colton White and Blake Speers interview where they talk about knowing each other before camp:

I agree with you on the Zacha comment.

I can also understand why you would be excited about Santini also.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Loved those blasts from Severson and Hrabenka.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Was a nice hit by Santini. Again makes me excited for when he is trucking people with the big club.

I also want to see Zacha and Severson hook up like that for years please.

 

[Feed Me A Stray Cat]

Surprised more people aren't talking about goulet. I thought he was the best forward from either team.

Nice hands from kerfoot on multiple occasions.

I thought Chatham had some surprisingly good moves with the puck.

Zacha started a bit slow but was great by the end of the game.

Coleman and pietila were good, but they should be given their age. They were both very strong.

I thought jq was largely invisible save for a couple nice dangles that didn't amount to much.

Fitzgerald is a good passer. He's probably too poor a skater for his size though.

Speers needs to improve his skating. Wasn't too impressed with him but he's got a lot of time.

Kelleher made stuff happen. He did get knocked down a bunch but if he adds some weight I think he'll he a good ahl player

Not sure I've seen a player as small as gaudreau. Too bad because he has decent hockey sense.

Gavrus has good offensive skills but an awful shot.

 

[Maine Fan]

Thanks everyone for the updates and player evaluations. Sounds like it was fun.

Looking forward to the future of the big change.

Nobody said anything about Blandisi... Injured?
